This sounds very useful! Is this addon for vscode? Please educate me :-)

It's an atom addon called local-history. It seems there's a VS code addon of the same name with the same functionality.

This sounds very wasteful unless it is doing diffs in the background. In which case, git would be better.

It doesn't do diffs and it's no replacement for git, but complements it as one added layer of protection. It's kind of wasteful but my local-history is 100 mb big after some months. And you can tell it to auto purge anything older than X days. I would put 90 days as default instead of 30.
